This invention relates to apparatus for the manufacture of ozone and for the treatment of liquids with ozone.

In the accompanying drawings, which illustrute the preferred form of my invention, Figure 1 is an axial section of one ofthe ozonegencrators. Fig. 2 is a side elevation, partly in vertical mid-section, showing an installation of apparatus for generating ozone and treatingliquids therewith; and Fig. 3 is a plan view of the apparatus shown in Fig. 2.

Referring to the draWings ve will now describe our invention.

The apparatus which forms the subject of this invention consists of two distinct parts: first, the tube for producingozonc; second, the apparatus serving for the use. of ozone for aging and purifying alcoholic liquors-such as pure alcohol, fiegnias, brandy of all'kinds and strengths, kirschwasser, rum, absinthe,

sumption that contain alcohol.

The two apparatus-work in combination in gwhisky, gin, and geuerallv allliquids for con 'the'tpplication of ozone for aging and rectifyin g alcoholic liquids. The ozone-tube, Fig. I, is composed of two.

aluminium s irals s's laced one within and the other external to a glass tube a and of the said tube, which is about one centimeter in" diameter and forty-fi ve centimeters long. The

whole is inclosed in a second tube 1), also of plan at Fig. 3.)

glass, having its two ends cemented to those of the first-named one.

Small openings care. pierced in the interior tube a near the cemerited joints, establishing the commuuica minels are connected to the secondary circuit of an induction-coil excited by any suitable source of electricity anda current ot oxygen be made to circulate through the tubes while subject to the influence of the invisible elec tric discharges that take place between the two aluminium spirals, the oxygen willbe transformed into ozone.

The ozone apparatus consists of three tubes similar to those above described and placed in tension that is to say, the outlet of one is connected to the inlet of the next, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 at C. Each tube actuated by a separate induction-coil. 'lhe primary circhits of the induction-coils tire arranged in shunt-circuit on the dynamo-circuit. The oxygen used passes successively through each of the three tubes, becoming more'and more ozonized' as it passes through each one.

We will now describe the complete apparatus. (Shown in elevation at Fig. 2 and in The oxygen taken from a gas-holder Z by means of a gas-pump P is forced into a reservoir A. This reservoir is provided at its upper part with a' pressu re-gage for indicat:

'ing the pressure. It is provided at its lower part with a cock 6, serving for the discharge of watery vapors carried with the oxygen. This reservoir is of galvanized sheet-iron. The oxygen issues from it by a tinned lead tube'f, in order to pass into fa. glass receiver B, oontainingchloride of calcium, serving to absorb entirely the moisture of the gas. This receiver is connected to the ozone apparatus C, above described. through this apparatus and issues from. it

transformed int ovone and passes into a glass Woulfe bottle D,; i This bottle, which is always empty, serves as a safety-vessel for preventing the escape of the liquid or its re- "lhe oxygen passes
